Where do you get your TV news?

More or less, there are three cable news networks that cover news 24/7 (not including CNBC, Bloomerberg or other "niche" news networks): FoxNews, MSNBC and CNN.  The three networks are in constant competition with each other.  They also, of course, have dramatically different political slants - FoxNews is openly conservative, MSNBC is openly liberal and CNN is the closest to neutral of the three.

New ratings numbers also show clear winners and losers: FoxNews is, far and away, leading the pack.  Check out the link for those ratings numbers - in the all important 25-54 demographic, Fox is leading every timeslot.  MSNBC has gained ground over the past few years and is actually within striking distance of Fox in at least one timeslot (10pm).  CNN?  Not even close.

Indeed, CNN is facing a major ratings crisis, with viewership hitting a 20-year low in the month of May.  Is this a statement about people preferring news with a slant, or just not liking CNN?   That's a much larger question.

So, is FoxNews the undisputed news king?  Well, in TV, maybe, but not the internet.  Check this out:

CNN is is the 63rd most popular website in the world and 21st in the US.  FoxNews, by contrast, is the 174th most popular site in the world and 43rd in the US.  MSNBC?  They are way, way, WAY back, ranking as the 7,839th most popular website in the world and 1,477th in the US.

Funny how different mediums get different results.
